Default Playing DVD on the F Sport???

I do not have the ML system and am trying to play a DVD. It's saying that no video just audio is avail. I thought you press the park and stick a DVD in. Am I missing something?

I thought that's how it's done as well. Unless the engine has to be off as well...Then again I wouldn't know, I don't have the car in my possession yet lol.

I am thinking about getting a module for it, but that's another $399 to bypass the DVD safety thing, and labor.

I thought that too but it only plays audio even with the engine off and parking brake on. Still no video. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't think that's possible unless you find some sort of bypass. It may be a 12in screen, but Lexus programmed it in a way to make the right side (4in or so) to be the control interface (radio, climate, etc) It's one giant screen, but think of it as two separate screens.
